Noël: Joseph Is Well Married
Joseph is well married
to the daughter of Jesse.
It is a pretty new thing
to be both maid and maidenly:
God saw to it.
Joseph is well married.
When it came to the first ones
that God wished to save,
to earth he made
his dear son Jesus descend,
to become human thanks to Mary.
Joseph is well married.
Noël: Now tell us Mary
And if I see her again
I shall say to her: neighbour,
I love you loyally
But you are too fine for me.
Alas, I have lost
the one I loved so dearly;
I no longer see her
for whom my heart aches.
Noël: Huron Carol
Have courage, you who are humans,
Jesus, he is born.
Behold, the spirit who had us as
prisoners has fled.
Do not listen to it,
as it corrupts our minds.
Jesus, he is born, Jesus he is born.
They are spirits, coming with a message for us,
the sky people they are coming to say,
"Rejoice"
"Marie, she has just given birth.
Rejoice."
